Vaccination safety update.
TLDR
The safety profile of modern vaccines and their continuous surveillance is discussed and it is shown why the current criticism of vaccination on safety grounds is unjustified.

We will have to vaccinate healthy children against influenza when we know that it is helpful
TLDR
Evidence for the efficacy of inactivatedinfluenza vaccine in infants and young children, the groupproposed for the intervention, is too scarce to be proved and this may be the main point against their finalrecommendation.
